He called it the “baby version” of the popular survivalist show. “They weren’t offering me the 40 or 60-day [version],” he revealed in an interview. “It was like, the baby version where it’s like 12 days or something.” He decided against getting naked on television and left Naked And Afraid to the real survivalists.
Joe Manganiello had his eye on another reality competition television show. The host of Deal Or No Deal Island wanted to be on Survivor. He even went as far as to send in an audition tape.
“There’s a DVD floating around somewhere that is my Survivor audition tape,” he admitted. “But you couldn’t be an actor. I was working construction at the time, the summer in L.A. and so I posed as Joe the construction worker from Pittsburgh. Somewhere there’s me jackhammering and mixing cement.”

“Some of the contestants knew who they were, some didn’t,” Manganiello explained. “It was something that I wanted to make sure that would stay preserved until the contestants figured it out.
